"What’s insane about Nora Ephron is that her journalism is as incisive as her comedy is sharp; her recipes as delicious as her profiles astute; her love of romantic comedies as pure as her screenplays heartwarming. She is a shrewd, funny, charming companion."

"“Out of all of David Lynch’s films this one is my favourite, along with Blue Velvet. I especially love his use of songs by Elvis. The closing scene of the film is so romantic and always makes me go weak at the knees.”"

"This book would probably be shunned today. Even though Humbert Humbert is clearly a villain, the very subject of pedophilia is now considered too transgressive. But Nabokov had to reach far in order to redeem the romantic novel, which had become trite."

"I could watch the work of Wong Kar-wai (and the brilliant cinematographer Christopher Doyle) all day long. I don’t have to understand what’s going on . . . I don’t care. Beautiful people, photographed beautifully. His films are the best, most romantic out there."

How about that - a nice little twist on the classic romantic comedy genre. Here we get boy meets boy, boy loses boy, boy gets boy! You can read my full review here https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2015/01/03/a-fine-gay-romance/

A strange film best described as a sort of romantic/comedy, drama? It is well made and the leads give great performances, but it does feel a bit dragged out at well over 2 hours. It won't be everyone's cup of tea!
